For versatility, I would go with the 375 Ruger in the discontinued 20" barreled Alaskan model. The 375 Ruger with hand-loaded or DoubleTap factory loaded 270 TSX works for me. I am a fan of the 375 Ruger and 45/70. But, the 375 is definitely more versatile, especially with the addition of the new Hornady 250gr GMX load factory load at an advertised 2900 fps. DoubleTap offers TSX in 235gr, 270; a 250 TTSX and 260gr Nosler Accubond loads.
ETA = The Hornady GMX's advertised velocity is from a 24" test barrel.
My local dealer has both of them for sale and are used for the same price. For fishing and on the trail, which one would you buy? The .375 Ruger can also be used to hunt with is a nice plus.
